Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-2609:
---------------------------------------

bq. But is anyone concerned about the file size of the tests jar? It just goes 
into someone's test mechanism, I think if its 7MB this is no problem.

My problem is that you cannot run the tests from this jar file, as lots of 
tests need the files in classpath, but as real files. We may work around that, 
but all tests that call new File(Class.getResource().toURI()) will of course 
fail (and there are lots of them).

So I prefer a small JAR file without crap that can also be shipped in the 
binary zip and helps the user. The large one *confuses totally*. If you want to 
use the whole test build incl all files, you can simply run "ant compile-tests" 
and point your IDE to build/classes/test. I think we want more a subset of 
"usefull" classes for external developers to test their own implementations 
like TokenStreams, Similarities, CustomScoreQueries,....

> The test classes are useful for writing unit tests for code external to the 
> Lucene project. It would be helpful to build a jar of these classes and 
> publish them as a maven dependency.
